By exploring personal identity and the identities of their peers, students model the lessons of Martin Luther King, Jr. as they considered conflict civility, resolution through dialogue, and living with moral courage.

Civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis visited The Hun School. “We’re trying our best to inspire another generation of young people (not just in America, but around the world) to stand up; to be brave; to be courageous. And, when you see something that is not right, you make a little noise,” said Congressman Lewis.

Building a Foundation

"Building the foundation for global understanding and cross-cultural relationships requires hard, thoughtful work. We are blessed by the diversity that thrives in our corner of the quiet Edgerstoune neighborhood – students and teachers representing every heritage, class, and identity, and hailing from New Jersey, eighteen states, and thirty-one nations (Algeria to Vietnam). Through everyday communication and friendships, we can be our own best resource for practicing how to connect across every kind of difference."

Jonathan Brougham, headmaster
